DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nIn this talk I will discuss the molecular design o
 f organic structural materials that mimic the ability of living systems to
  protect\, report\, heal and even regenerate themselves in response to dam
 age\, with the goal of increasing lifetime\, safety and sustainability of 
 many manufactured items. I will emphasize recent developments in frontal r
 ing-opening metathesis polymerization (FROMP) to manufacture composites wi
 th minimal energy consumption. The talk will also present a workflow for t
 he design\, evaluation\, and development of new “mechanophores”\, a term t
 hat has come to mean a molecular unit that chemically responds in a select
 ive manner to a mechanical perturbation. Mechanophores are building blocks
  for the development of mechanoresponsive materials with protection and se
 nsing functions. The impact and challenges of introducing these capabiliti
 es in real-world situations will be mentioned.\n\nBio:\n\nJeffrey Moore re
 ceived his B.S. in chemistry (1984) and Ph.D. in materials science and eng
 ineering with Samuel Stupp (1989)\, both from the University of Illinois. 
 He then went to Caltech as a National Science Foundation Postdoctoral Fell
 ow working with Robert Grubbs. In 1990\, he joined the faculty at the Univ
 ersity of Michigan in Ann Arbor and in 1993 returned to the University of 
 Illinois\, where he is currently the Stanley O. Ikenberry Endowed Chair\, 
 Professor of Chemistry\, as well as a Professor of Materials Science & Eng
 ineering. Jeff is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and a fello
 w of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences\, the American Association fo
 r the Advancement of Science and the American Chemical Society (ACS)\; he 
 has received the Campus Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching and
  has been recognized as a “Faculty Ranked Excellent by their Students.” Fo
 r 14 years he served as an associate editor for the Journal of American Ch
 emical Society. In 2014\, he was selected as a Howard Hughes Medical Insti
 tute Professor and in 2016 was chosen as the recipient for the ACS Edward 
 Leete Award in Organic Chemistry. He received the Royal Society of Chemist
 ry’s Materials Chemistry Division 2018 Stephanie L. Kwolek Award. He has p
 ublished over 400 articles covering topics from technology in the classroo
 m to self-healing polymers\, mechanoresponsive materials and shape-persist
 ent macrocycles. He is currently serving as the Director of the Beckman In
 stitute for Advanced Science and Technology at the University of Illinois.
